Description of problem: When booting the PI 400, a few kernel lines appear, the screen blanks and the boot starts over. It's not possible to read the lines on the screen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia 8 rpi aarch64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Obtain raspberry PI 400. 2. Generate SD card using dd or rpi-imager. 3. Insert card, power on RPI 400, watch it loop endlessly. POP OS! works, as does Raspian on this device. The RPI 400 is a very common and popular platform, it should be supported.
Just fyi, I have Mageia 8 working on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B using the aarch64 image, so it seems to be a pi 400 issue.

It might be a DTB issue.

Are there aarc64 images for Mageia 9 yet?
No. There are gnome and "no desktop" from last April, such as on http://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/mageia/distrib/9/aarch64/install/images/ For now, best to start with an m8 install, and then upgrade. One way of upgrading is to use "killall mgaapplet && mgaapplet --testing".
Mageia 8 boot loops and doesn't work Mageia 9 (cauldron) boots and comes up in multi-user mode but not in a graphic environment. Neither the PI 400 keyboard or and external USB keyboard work on the device. The NIC does work and sshd is listening but I do not know the password for the "live" user. Perhaps this ticket should be closed and a new one for the PI-400 peripherals should be opened. It's awfully nice to see Mageia on an arm device.
I have m8 (plasma) running ok on an rpi 4b with 4GB ram. The live user does not have a password, so just press enter. I've tested m9 by upgrading from an m8 install, but that was months ago. Will retest it soon.
Sadly, I can't press enter since neither the PI-400 keyboard nor an external USB keyboard work, the only chance I have to get in is via ssh and when I try: ssh live@<raspberry address> I get back a password prompt that does not accept an empty password, thus I have no way to directly or indirectly interact with the system.

Adding myself to this bug. The error Alan gave fits me exactly, using the m8 images Dave mentions, using the one that was tested on the Wiki page.
